Description

In a modest cottage on the Korpela farm, Simo the tenant farmer and his wife Heta wrestle with the relentless grind of rural life. Through their candid, often weary conversations they reveal a lifetime of hard work, loss, and the thin line between survival and surrender. Their daughter Tiina’s frail health hangs over them, while the looming authority of the estate’s overseer threatens to strip them of the home they have painstakingly built.

The first act paints a vivid portrait of exhaustion and quiet defiance, as Heta recalls childhood abundance and the bitter turn of adulthood, and Simo clings to the hope of recovery. Their exchange with the newly arrived magistrate hints at legal battles and a looming eviction, setting the stage for a clash between personal dignity and the cold machinery of the law. Listeners will be drawn into the intimate struggles of a family fighting for the right to stay where they belong.
